[jimbo240880]

Yes I certainly agree with you. That was a pretty amazing compostition.

[tkkidd]

[anpan213]

ホントは6分もある曲なのにそれを3分で演奏させる番組スタッフ­が悪い。

[akagisyu]

転調が急すぎるなぁ

他が完璧だけに惜しい気がしてならないです

[padaalsa]

I really like the acoustic guitar, especially played fingerstyle, but I can't help but feel the instrument can't capture the tone of this particular song. Maybe it's just too solemn and meloncholly...

[RhYthMic93]

Bravo!

[solhagen00]

he s fantastic!!!wow!!!!!!!love it!

[peekee50]

Great performance!*****

[ghdanny]

[sf1102]

[CrystalNeko]

[moodyb]

Wow, a really lovely rendition indeed!

I really like this version indeed!

[AnnaEva86]

Wow! this is amazing!! I love this song! But the piano version is better. But still... this awesome!!

[dragonisthe1]

What can i say ,,best performance iv´e seen on a accoustic or a electric in a long time ,,keep up the good work ..

[SammySteele]

Is the guitar tuned in a different way? It almost sounds half an octave lower.

[maximusmg]

it is tuned to  dadgac

this guy is amazing!!!!!!

[9995]

wow new acoustic guitar god.XD

[monkeyinair]

Guzheng, ahaha. What a cute comparison!

Man, true virtuoso, this guy is.

[nazri1155]

it's like he plays his guitar like a guzheng...lol

[phienix99]

the slap harmonics sound real good in this version!how do i get that sound...

[SoMuchBuffness]

Dang his hairs were long!! lol..

Great song!

[jondel47]

really,really amazing. i have never seen someone play the guitar like that,and play it that well... this was a tremendous display.

[ShenOmega]

Slap the guitar, SLAP IT HARD!

[sahraoui2910]

I can't believe how you can play like this. I've obtained the tab from a website, but without the actual music notes (score). Tab helps when I can see the music notes, but with tab alone, I can't even begin! where can I get it in London?

[tembus0304]

すげえうめぇ

[fkndikhead]

how does he slap the harmonics sheesh thats impossible, LEGEND!

[milzlo]

It looks like an acoustic guitar but it doesnt sound like one???????????????????

[zardman]

well you need acoustic amplifier you know?

or simply get elec-acoustic.

[boxdowncom]

he bends the neck haha

[cosmo1845]

A genuine August Rush

[SaxeyEyes]

Fabulous guitarist, very gifted.

[diegodelanus]

que garompa chinoka del orto

[wures7]

What guitar is that? It looks like a Yamaha FX 335.

[MrSlowJamz]

what year is this performed?

[Dinyctis]

Best part: 2:19 when he shakes the guitar to make the reverberating sound.

[xXRoxasKH2Xx]

that part is cool

[circusactone]

he bends the neck

[zeon115]

He's playing it like a koto!

[takemitsu1957]

Genius. That's the only word the talent of Kotaro really deserves.

[TYK1994]

Can anybody tell me how he play the melody and the chords at the same time or is there other people playin the melody for him?

[frankkumon]

He taps the string on the fretboard rather than just strumming/picking the strings. The guitar needs to be amplified a certain way, also.

[be10be10]

ha so very nice congraulations very good.

[solvecoagule]

That's a 6-string guitar, judging by the number of string pins on the bridge and the number of tuning machines on the head.

[drgentlewolf]

It reminds me another image that has no sad I dont think I love it so much.

[drgentlewolf]

It is a little bit different from original.

[zbenne05]

Why does he use a 12 string in this but not for the others?? And how the hell does he pull off those harmonics so well on a 12 string!?!

[yashar22]

haha he pulls them off because its not a twelve string ;)

look at teh head there are only six tuning pins.

[frozensun79]

the best guitarist i ve ever seen!

[hansenb1]

Has he ever done a sythesizer live version of "the last emperor" or "merry xmas mr. lawrence". Please PM the links,

Thanks, Han

[animekyoko]

awsome man i wished i had the sheets for this
